    Hei there,

    im currently on a 250 ktm, but now i decided to have a look at the 125 bikes. My Fahter is swedish and has lived in Huskvarna for a while. Also those Red-White Bikes just look insanely nice, so i thought i have a look at them. I hope they perform as well as they look:)
    So here i am.
    Greetings from Switzerland.

    I don't have a Husky, but a KTM. I've looked at them, but so far cannot afford one at this time.
    I originally was directed here to read some reviews on the Motoz tyres, which I now run and think are great.

    I'm in Port Angeles, so I can ride 2 miles to the trails behind my house- having a plated and (mostly) legal bike is really handy.

    Hi there from Au,
    I've just purchased a '00 WR125 for my 14 year old son. Big step up from his XR80!
    We took off this weekend to Louee for his first ride and he loved it! Had some issues with the tall seating position, I'm now looking for a lowering link and 12 tooth front sprocket as the first mods....any advice is welcome.
    Cheers, JM.

    I ride a 2004 TE 250. Hall's SS valves, Hall's Mikuni Carb Mod., Bettones Suspension. It was running great until I ground up the lower Conrod bearing last week!

    What can I say I am a Husky man through and through....

    I raced MX in 80's (all on Huskys) which was a challenge in itself... I had to stop due to my job at that time but still kept my last Husky.... 1985 500.

    Due to a trip recently to MX event and seeing older guys than me racing I thought that's it... rebuild the 500 and have some fun......

    Hi Guys. I've been reading the site for a couple of months now and the 2 stroke threads went a long way to making the decision on a WR300. I've had for 7 weeks and the last 3 it has been back at the dealers waiting for a warranty claim approval.

    Anyway the site looks great and there is a lot of info here. Look forward to chatting and learning more about 2 strokes (and other Husky related stuff).

    I live in NSW Australia.

    I also have a Sherco 5.1 that I'm keeping for motarding and trail riding while the Husky sits in the shop.

    Cheers

    Welcome aboard Husky 37. Yes definitely rebuild that big beast. The mid 80's 500 are some of my favorite bikes of all time. I keep looking around for the right restoration project.:thumbsup:

    Welcome aboard. Sorry to hear that you're having some initial problems but hang in there once you get them sorted out I'm sure that 300 will serve you well.:cheers:

    Hi Vic, welcome to the Cafe. Funny how once you get a infusion of Husky blood you never really get it out of you're system. The 84 250 that I had left an indelible mark on my soul.:cheers:

    I was riding on a tar road on the way to some tracks at about 90km/h and backed off slighty for a corner then rolled the throttle on and nothing happened. I pull the clutch in and the engine had stopped.

    When the dealer pulled the barrel off they found the bore to be heavily scored and the rings looked good. So now waiting for the importer to make a decision.

    Before this happened it was a great bike. Lug it up hills and in the tight stuff or scream down the fire trail.
